ultra/sono/graph/y
cardio/graph/y
radio/graphy
angio/graphy

1. what is swelling of the bursa below the knee diagnosed as?

prepatellar tendonitis
inflamed knee ligament
quadriceps tendonitis
prepatellar bursitis

Explanation:

Question 39

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• ultrasonography: Uses high - frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to create images of body parts. This matches the description in the question.
• cardiography: Related to recording the electrical activity of the heart, not using sound waves for body part imaging.
• radiography: Uses X - rays, not high - frequency sound waves.
• angiography: Involves imaging blood vessels, usually with contrast agents and X - rays or other imaging modalities, not sound waves.

We analyze each option:

• prepatellar tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendon, not the bursa below the knee.
• inflamed knee ligament: Involves the knee ligament, not the bursa.
• quadriceps tendonitis: Inflammation of the quadriceps tendon, not the bursa.
• prepatellar bursitis: “Bursitis” is the inflammation (swelling) of a bursa. The prepatellar bursa is below the knee (patella), so this matches the description of swelling of the bursa below the knee.

Answer:

A. ultra/sono/graph/y
